The Cybils Awards
are back! The Cybils, or Children's and Young Adult Bloggers
Literary Awards are held every year. I am excited to announce that I will
be serving as a first round judge in the Middle
Grade Speculative Fiction Category.

The Cybils provide a wonderful opportunity for passionate
book blogger to gather together and recognize the most outstanding books of the
year for a variety of YA and children categories that include graphic novels,
fiction, poetry, picture books, and speculative fiction.

This year I will be joined by an amazing group of first
round judges who share a love of all things sci-fi, fantasy, and speculative fiction
(and books in general!).
